Me: hello! Here is the second chappy… I can't stay happy. *burst out into tears*
Dipper: what is wrong with you?
Me: GRAVITY FALLS IS ENDING MONDAY! I can't do this! I'm not mentally prepared. I've been watching since 2012.
Dipper: and on Valentine 's Day too.
Me: don't worry dippy, you will always be my valentine. And then after that we can…*sobs* we can get married…*sobs* and… *sobs*and live happ- AHHH *cry's uncontrollably*
Bill bent down and set the delicate body in his arms in a patch of grass behind a shrub. Ebony fixed herself to sit up, and then she looked to her father.
"See that boy?" he pointed his finger at the adolescent boy in front of the shack. She nodded and gazed towards the boy. The door the old shack opened and outcome a girl with lengthy brunette hair. She paced over to the boy and sat next to him. She let a smile show, but something was shiny in her mouth. It lined her teeth. Ebony didn't quite understand why they were there but she knew she would learn.
"His name is Pine- err… Dipper." Her father spoke, then quickly corrected himself. Bill couldn't have Ebony calling him Pine Tree, he might get suspicions. What Bill really worried about was how he was going to get Ebony to live there. He thought for a second a light bulb popped into his mind.
"And do you see the girl? Her name is Mabel. Now I want you to listen to me very closely. Stanly will let you stay if you agree to work for him and maybe you should throw in a runaway story like…" he thought for a good cover for his daughter, "like the government is after you because… your pick pocketing skills were so impossible, that they thought you needed to be taken care of. Yea… that way you would be of use to him." Bill knew the story was rubbish but this was Stanly we were talking about, what was going to be more troublesome was Stanford. He was smart enough to know somethings not right.
"For the other adult of the house, Stanford… Just use you book wormy side to connect with him. If he gets suspicions at all come to me immediately. You do what I say or I'll take you back home. Do we have a deal?" Bill knew his daughter well, she had nothing else to do but read. He wanted her to read, books were illusions of freedom. When she was done she would long to be the character in the book. She would love to go on an adventure whether it be supernatural or romance. She's read every book in his study, which was every book he had encountered in his existence. This including the journals, just copy's though.
Her father took his hand and held it for her to shake. Ebony lifted her hand up knowing this could end badly but hoped for the best. Her hand trembled as is slowly touched her father's glove, she knew what happened next. She never knew what the fire that engulfed her father's hands felt like but she was about to find out. It sparked and then Bill forced his grip to her hand, a smile spread across his face when he saw the surprise on his daughters face. He created the fire and Ebony couldn't process the feeling. It wasn't painful but it definitely was not pleasant. It almost felt like a muscle spasm from a minor electrocution. (My light switch wasn't working properly and I was electrocuted… it felt weird)
"I love you." He spoke to her, he leaned down to meet his daughters head and placed a loving kiss. Bill stood up and brushed himself off. He walked into the woods then looked back at his girl and smirked, he continued. He was soon out of Ebony's sight, she wasted no time to get up and try to walk over to the boy but she forgot about her injured knee. She crashed into the bush the unfortunately have thorns. The tips were red, she didn't know if it was that color from the get go or from puncturing her skin.
Dipper herd the bush shake, at first he thought it was just gnome or a rabbit but before he could look away he noticed a foot sticking out of it. He rushed over to Ebony's limb and touched it. The response he got was a jerk and a shout of distress. Immediately he knew the owner of the foot needed help. He stepped into the bush trying to doge the big thorns and found a hand that was clad in black cloth. It was small and delicate. He reached down and grabbed hold of the nimble hand and pulled up.
"I gotch ya." He spoke in a supportive manner as he lifted the girl out of the shrub. She wore a black tank top with a black jacket over it only the jacket was short-sleeved. It went down to the back of her knees. She also had a black skirt on that ended about the same place the jacket did. All of this was lined with yellow. Her hands had gloves on them; they were black then faded into a yellow by time it reached her elbow. After that point it breaks off into multiple different pieces of fabric and it crossed up her arm. It was the same with her boots her attire made Dipper a tad suspicious but he didn't jump to any conclusions yet. It's not like Ebony choices to wear this; her father was the one who gave her clothes. Once she stood all the way up she pushed her hair to cover her eye and then looked at Dipper. She smiled tried to walk out of the greenery only to feel her knees give out again. Ebony latched to Dipper for support, he didn't mind much but he couldn't help to blush.
"T-Thank you." Ebony said as he helped her out, she was absolutely thrilled. This is the first time actually touching a human being besides her mother. She couldn't wait to get to know him and go and do things with him and his sister… where is his sister? She looked around till her eyes fell on a body snoring in the middle of the yard. Dipper looked the girl up and down; her legs were scuffed up and had punctures in them, same with her arms. Blood dripped down her body but nothing to worry too much about.
"Come with me, I'll fix you up." Dipper picked Ebony up. She was very small for her age and Dipper had hit puberty last year before coming back to Gravity Falls. He had developed quite a lot of muscle during his adventures, yet he was only 14. She wrapped my arms around his neck to make sure she didn't fall and then his face flushed. She ignored it. They entered the shack until they were stopped by Stanly pines.
Me: *still hasn't stopped crying* we can get through this my fellow fallers! Stay strong during this dark time!
Dipper: she's crazy, don't get near her.
